Dream relationships continue while real-world promises slip

2175The deep futureDeadline · Decision deadline: 14 days until the next experience cycle begins

Civilisational assumption

The people, events, figures, and technology in this matter are stated assumptions. They are not to be treated as information about real individuals or as observed events. Background documents are separate sources, and symbolic interpretations are recorded as discovery paths.

The question to decide

In a fictional dream with an ongoing storyline, you feel deep attachment to a character, yet keep postponing promises made while awake. If ending the experience also feels like losing a relationship, do you continue the dream relationship, lengthen the intervals between experiences and reset real-world promises, or end the experience?

The options

The order shown is not a ranking of preference.

  1. Option 1

    Continue the experience regularly

  2. Option 2

    Widen the interval and re-commit

    Adjusts the place of both experiences, but narrative continuity and immediate satisfaction decrease.

  3. Option 3

    End the experience

    Gains room to recover real-world time and responsibility, but experiences the loss of an attachment actually felt.
